Some say she grows stronger every year...

Bro I've seen/heard MULTIPLE Christmas ads already

I even saw a Christmas stand in a store

Who is buying Christmas stuff in OCTOBER?

[-] Todesschnitzel@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Shit sells best in November. The earlier they sell it, the more money they may make.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

Walmart went full in on their Christmas section like two+ weeks ago.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 7 points 1 year ago

of course they did why wouldn't they

eventually they're gonna reach the point of never getting rid of their Christmas section

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Supermarkets here in Germany are already full on Christmas sweeties.

Is this a cultural thing I'm not understanding?

[-] UlfKirsten@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

No. It’s an idiot thing you’re rightfully rejecting.

We start cristmas on the first of September here in Germany. And you will pry my Gewürzspekulatius out of my cold dead hands.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 3 points 1 year ago

At least share one with me...

[-] Schmeckinger@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Also they don't play the christmas music, its just as soon as it starts getting colder they go from grill mode into christmas mode. Where instead of grill stuff you can buy christmas stuff and fondue. Also we don't really have Thanksgiving and a lot of people aren't into fall stuff like pumpkins, so for seasonal stuff they go straight to Christmas.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 2 points 1 year ago

like yin and yang, but grills and christmas decorations

Saw a pallet of 79 cent Santas in some store the other day, and a Santa Femboy on the Hub.

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Same with Lowe’s. You can’t even get Halloween shit now, even though it’s several weeks away. I went into Kohl’s on Tuesday and it was all Christmas music playing.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Must not be in the USA

[-] Computerchairgeneral@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

It's too late. She's already here. My local Walmart threw out all the outdoor stuff in the garden section and put up Christmas trees, decorations, and lights.

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Bro it's not even Halloween yet

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Christmas is hawt this year.

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Still good. In Germany the sale of Christmas sweets and decoration started in the last week of August. It's just ridiculous. I think we had almost 30°C when I first saw it.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Or the 200.covers of Last Christmas. Seriously. Why? One time.they played 3 back to back, all different. It must be super fucking cheap to license or it's got "buy shit" subliminally caked in it.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Christmas is about buying shit these days tbh.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Always has but why that fucking sad fuck of a song? why is it pushed so goddamn much?! I must know.

No, nononono, NO. NOT YET, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST AND HIS BIRTHDAY, NO.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I prefer Xmas to just be year round, without the concentrated music.

Just dilute it. I don't care when it's in stores. I care that it's beat into your head for a couple months and then poofs, only to come again next year.

Also, stop making egg nog only around Xmas! I want it year round as well!

[-] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'd accept Maria's as the only Christmas song anyone is allowed to play if it meant that they never played goddamn fucking awful Wonderful Christmastime ever again!

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, you mean on black Friday?

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

More of a Manheim, STO and old school crooner Christmas kinda person.

[-] db2@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Christmas with me is weird, because Bing Crosby will play all relaxing then suddenly this.

It's, "Objects in mirror MAY be closer than they appear," dammit!

~~I'm not crazy, you're crazy!~~

[-] bastian_5@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Actually some do say are. My dad's rear view mirror says are.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Shooooot. Flipping walmart put out the Christmas crap like 2 weeks ago.

[-] witheyeandclaw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
